"Yes what?" Sanji asks hopeful.

Zoro smiles as he leans forward. "Cook, getting married is a commitment. It means we are saying that we are willing to be more open with each other. We are still ourselves but not." Zoro pauses as Sanji gave him a confused look. This isn't where he was thinking Zoro was going with this. "When we started dating we said that we will be honest with each other. That we would tell each if there was something wrong. If I agreed to that then what's the difference about getting married?" Zoro asks.

"So yes?"

"It's like we are already married. And I like that." Zoro smiles. Sanji returns it. He lets out a breath. So Zoro doesn't mind getting married to him. That's good to hear. That helped with his confidence. "What about you? I know you asked me but I want to hear your thoughts."

"I..." Sanji sighs. "I have always wanted to get married. The person I thought that would be the person helped me realized what I really wanted. They weren't it. I wasn't happy with them but it's different with you. You make me happy. Megumi makes me happy. Everyday is so different even if we stay home and do nothing. I want to marry you. You've already given me Megumi, a child, something I thought that I wouldn't have." Sanji says. He blinked, trying to dry the tears that threatened to fall. He had forgotten all those feelings he had.

"You wanted kids?"

"Yeah I wanted a kid but the person I was with didn't. Didn't even want to get married. They were fine with us just dating. We didn't even live together." Sanji laughs humorlessly remembering all that. Which was almost only a year ago.

Zoro didn't say anything but nod. Sanji did seem like the type to get married and have a kid. Zoro laughed. Out loud. Sanji looked at him a little like he had lost his mind. Here the cook is getting emotional while the marimo is laughing? What?

"Why are you laughing?" Sanji asks.

"Sorry its just... can you imagine if we told our younger selves our lives now? Telling a younger you that you'll get your dream of marriage and a kid but with me?" Zoro continued to laugh. Sanji took a moment to imagine it.

His younger self getting told that he and Zoro will not only be dating but they will be talking about marriage and they will have a daughter. A younger Sanji would not believe it. If it were Luffy or the other guys, even Zoro he'd mostly likely punch them in the face and think they were teasing him. Sanji started to chuckle himself, his younger self would probably be making stupid faces as he denied the fact. But Zoro would be the same. "You wouldn't believe it either." Sanji says taking a deep breath from laughing. Zoro pauses, then smiles.

"I'd think they were crazy." Zoro says. Sanji sighs, he felt lighter. With the worry of Zoro maybe rejecting the idea of marrying Sanji gone he was left with the rest of the night.

"Who do you think would tell us? If everyone knew but us?" Zoro looks away for a moment to think.

"Nami." He answers.

"Really? I think Brook." Sanji tells. Zoro shakes his head.

"Well Luffy wouldn't care. Usopp would be to scared of our reaction, a valid response, and he would start scarring Chopper too so he wouldn't say anything. Robin would chuckle but wouldn't say anything. Franky and Brook would keep it to themselves. Nami would tell us, most likely when we ate both in the room to see our reaction." Zoro explains. Sanji is amazed, he really thought that through. And it made sense.

"Then she'd laugh and maybe blackmail us." Sanji adds. Zoro nods, yes she would do that?

"Oh right, before I really forget, what is your opinion on video games consoles, mainly the switch?" Zoro asks.

"I don't really care. Why?"

"Megumi wants one. I'm not so sure though." Zoro says.

"Why not? You have an Xbox that Luffy got you for your birthday." Sanji tilts his head.

"But that's for me. This is for Megumi, I don't know if I want her to have one."

"Why not?"

"She might get to distracted? And I'm planning on giving her some chores, like cleaning her room herself. Helping more with the dishes and laundry." Zoro says.

"Then how about we tell her that we'll get it for her but she has a time limit. Or she has to do her chores before she plays. And when she gets older if she doesn't do her studies we take it away from her." Sanji says.

"Alright but well wait. Just in case she forgets." Zoro says. She has stopped bothering him about a dog and or brother.

"Sanji!" The blonde turns to see Gin waving at him as he walked forward. Sanji smiled and waved at his friend. "You really did come back." He points out.

"I liked the place." Sanji says. Gin turns to see the Roronoa Zoro sitting there, in all his glory. Well maybe not. He doesn't seem all that threatening. His eyes seemed to soften and he looks more... muscled than before, or maybe thicc is the word. He's changed. "Ahem!" Sanji clears his throat. Gin just started staring at Zoro without saying anything. Which is understandable Zoro has that ability. Gin looks at him sheepishly.

"Sorry." He shakes his head with a small chuckle. Didn't know what came over him. "I'm Gin. Dont know if Sanji's mentioned me or not."

"Roronoa Zoro. I've heard things but not from Sanji." Zoro reaches his hand out for a hand shake. Gon reaches forward to shakes Zoro's hands. He was shocked, one for shaking hands with the infamous demon and two because of what he just said. Sanji even gave Zoro a look at this revelation. Who was it? They both wanted to know.

"Who?" Sanji asks, curly brow raised in curiosity. Zoro looked at him like he was an idiot, cause he is.

"Who else? Megumi." Zoro says. The marimo looks at Gin. "She really liked it here. She said she had fun talking to you. Or as she put it 'daddys friend.' She talked my ear off." Zoro gives Gin a smile. Gin couldn't help but blush. Who would have thought that the demon Zoro was so attractive?

"Excuse me boss, but I'd like to take their order." A waiter says coming from behind them. Gin looks at the man surprised.

"They haven't ordered yet?" He asks. The waiter shakes his head in shame. Gin just sighs. It was a little more busy than normal. "I'll let you guys order. See you." He says, as he leaves he gives Sanji a thumbs up which only caused the blonde to blush before focusing on Zoro as he ordered first.

With Zoro's arm linked with Sanji's as they strolled in the snow covered park, each with a cup of a hot beverage. Sanji with some coffee and Zoro with tea, he got his daily dose of sweetness at the restaurant.

They decided to walk around as they used up some time for themselves before they head back home. Sanji glad that Zoro felt the same as he still had to formally ask. His nerves were coming back. His worries, though, not all of them came back in the forefront of his mind.

Sanji took two deep breaths to ready himself. Zoro looked at the man, wondering why the deep breaths, they weren't running, and they haven't been walking that long. Sanji came to a stop. Zoro stopping with him. Zoro watched in silence as Sanji stepped in front of him. He looked determined but there was a hint a fear in those deep sea blue eye. What could be wrong?

Sanji got down on one knee, so glad that they were alone in this park, just them two cause the blush on his face would have been ten time more deep. He set his cup of coffee to the side as he reached into his pocket and took out the small box with Zoro's ring in it. He looked up at Zoro, the snow wetting his pants the least of his worries as he looked up at the man he loves very much. He was afraid of Zoro's reaction to this but Zoro just seemed confused.

"Zoro, you know I love you, and we've already talked about this but what do you think about going a ahead and getting married?" Sanji asks opening the black box with the ring.

He heard Zoro gasp, and saw just how unexpected this seemed to the other man.

Sanji gave him a smiles as Zoro couldn't seem to focus his eyes at one thing, Sanji's face or the ring.

What does he say?
